Are you practicing as an inferior, submissive Acupuncturist - relying on or accepting another practitioner’s diagnosis in determining how you can treat your patient?
Are you relying on a diagnosis from a chiropractor, a radiologist, a PT, or the a PCP? You may be disempowering yourself and practicing with a lack of confidence. These lead to subpar care for your patients.
Don’t take anything any other practitioner says as gospel, including a diagnosis for YOUR patient’s MSK/pain problem.
Information obtained from another practitioner/healthcare provider may be relevant in some regards, but it should NEVER guide your treatment. YOU are the one who assesses and determines what the patient needs. Not anyone else. When you treat based on a “diagnosis” the patient walks in with, that takes away from your care. YOU determine the best course of care using your tools/skills/knowledge.
Want to get strong assessment and diagnostic skills to more confidently treat your patients? Want to get better results in less time? You’re in the right place on the Locals community!

every once in a while I will have a very overweight patient with neck tension. The fat near the neck makes it hard to always have the most accurate placement of what I am looking to do since it rolls in prone. Sometimes i will just needle with them sitting. Any suggestions for easier needling?
Can you post a list of all the courses available on ASE seminars? the sorting normally needs specific names of the course to find it but I am looking to just see all the topics that ASE seminars covers. I am looking to create a list of articles that can be created based upon the courses that are taught here. A course that is taken can have an article created from it explaining to patients why they are in the right place. These articles can reduce costs of advertising over time by making a person a local authority with google using its algorithm to send you traffic. We aren't giving direct treatment strategies but overview articles it seems to guide purchase.
